Giants' Super Bowl ring to have 1.5 carats in diamonds
The New York Giants unveiled the design of their Super Bowl
championship ring on Tuesday, a white gold sparkler that will
feature about 1.5 carats in diamonds. The new ring will even
make seven-time Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Strahan happy.
Shortly after New York won the championship with a 17-14 win
over the previously undefeated New England Patriots, Strahan
said he wanted a "10-table ring." Loosely defined: He wanted
a ring that could be seen 10 tables away in a restaurant.
"There was some discussion about maybe one of the rings was
too big," said center Shaun O'Hara, who was among group of
players and team executives who designed the ring with
officials from Tiffany and Co. "I threw out the fact that it
was a big win, it was a huge win, so the ring should be
designed accordingly," O'Hara said. "Michael said it best when
he said he wanted a 10-table ring. I think everybody is going
to be very pleased with the design. It is very clean, very
classy, but at the same time it is very strong." The ring's top
is covered in diamonds and features three Super Bowl trophies
accented with marquise diamonds signifying the Giants' Super
Bowl XXI, XXV and XLII victories. The team's "NY" logo is in
bead set round diamonds, while "World Champions" is emblazoned
in raised letters on the top and bottom bezel, with channel
set diamonds on left and right bezel. The ring's shanks
celebrate the Giants' season, noting the team's "Eleven
Straight on the Road," an NFL record; the NFL shield; and
player name, along with player number in raised letters appear
on one shank. The final score, "Super Bowl XLII," date and
'AZ' appear on the other shank. Giants spokesman Pat Hanlon
would not disclose the price of the ring. Tiffany has previously
created Super Bowl championship rings for the Washington Redskins
and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The company annually creates the NFL
Vince Lombardi Super Bowl Trophy at its workshop in Parsippany,
about 30 minutes from Giants Stadium. The rings will be
presented to the Giants players and coaches at a ceremony
later in the spring.

Browns re-sign McKinney to one-year deal
Versatile offensive lineman Seth McKinney has signed a one-
year contract with the Cleveland Browns. McKinney won the
starting right guard's job last year and started eight games
before he was sidelined by a shoulder injury. He was replaced
by Ryan Tucker, who moved over from tackle after serving a
four-game suspension. The 315-pound McKinney has played on
both sides of the ball as well as at center during a six-year
NFL career. "With versatility as a guard and center, this
signing should solidify the interior part of our offensive
line," Browns general manager Phil Savage said in a statement
Friday. "At this point, we feel we have seven starters competing
for five positions." McKinney was originally drafted by Miami
in the third round in 2002. He played in all 16 games in each
of his first three seasons with the Dolphins. He missed the
entire '06 season with a neck injury before he signed with the
Browns as a free agent before the 2007 season.
Cardinals bring in QB St. Pierre, re-sign DB Ware
The Arizona Cardinals signed quarterback Brian St. Pierre to

St. Pierre was the third-string quarterback for the Pittsburgh
Steelers last season. He was a fifth-round draft pick by
Pittsburgh out of Boston College in 2003. He was with the
Steelers for two seasons and appeared in one game before going
to Baltimore in 2005. He rejoined the Steelers in 2006.
Ware appeared in 15 games for Arizona last season, with 12
tackles on defense and seven on special teams. He was claimed
off waivers from Philadelphia on Sept. 3, 2006, and played in
14 games, one as a starter in 2006. Ware was a third-round
draft pick of the Eagles out of UCLA in 2004.
